- 3.0Oct 3, 2023Insurance Verification SpecialistFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsValley City, ND
Pros
My time there started out well as I was left to be able to do my work as I saw was best, which I did just fine doing. I received very reasonable pay and benefits. I did learn alot and the position help improve my abilities and self esteem.
Cons
As the company expanded into my area they grew much more Nit Picky and controlling about how I do my job. It was very upsetting and stressful. The people in my office were not overly pleasant to be around either. I was forced to come into the office half time after being 100% productive and efficient being exclusively from home for over 2 years due to Covid. Supervisor was reasonable, but hands were tied on many things. I also struggled to be able to access my find pay stub, something that should be automatically mailed with any pay day that takes place after my last day on the job.
- 5.0Aug 2, 2023Data Science FellowCurrent EmployeeArden Hills, MN
Pros
Since joining Boston Scientific over two years ago as a data scientist, I've been continually pleasantly surprised by the culture: at every turn my ideas are heard; innovation is encouraged, appreciated, and supported; employees can bring their full selves; and the sense and presence of community is real. I'm truly excited for this company's future, and for my career at Boston Scientific.
Cons
Boston Scientific is large company, and change can be slow. In addition, this size and the general structure that has resulted from growth through acquisitions means that silos can abound. It takes a willingness to reach out to others, effort to spread ideas, and engagement of the rich communities of practice and employee resource groups to drive important change. Fortunately, the company culture is such that when you do this, you will be heard, and you will be empowered to continue.

- 5.0Nov 14, 2023Territory ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 3 years
Pros
Boston treats you so well, really promotes internally and wants you to succeed.
Cons
You are the primary driver of any and all success- you need to problem solve and everything is up to you.
- 3.0Sep 14, 2023Anonymous EmployeeFormer Employee, less than 1 yearMinneapolis, MN
Pros
The timeliness were reasonable and there were plenty of resources available to make projects go smoothly for an intern/co-op who might need a little more help. The people who work here are kind and understanding. You basically get treated like an entry level engineer, which means you will be given actual work that impacts the company and helps the team you are assigned to instead of being given busy work for 6 months
Cons
You might get thrown into the deep end a bit, which can be intimidating and paralyzing if you've been more academic and less hands-on with your learning experience before starting here, but I guess that goes for most first internships/jobs. The pay is not very good ($27/hr) considering they expect you to do the work of an entry level engineer as an intern/co-op.
